Yes, and?Originally posted by Caligastia
I am talking about attempts to create equal outcomes in education and employment through the use of racial preferences and quotas.
If you think there has been enough already, then you must think that there has been a decisive scientific answer to the questions of race and intelligence. Do you feel like sharing?
I'm not looking for an answer. I don't see any point in it. If you do then I'm not going to prevent you from doing research in that area. I think the fact that you have found such an issue so important means you are a racist.

So you think that if blacks (let's not bother pretending were not talking about them) are determined to be genetically less intelligent than whites, there's going to be no cause to promote racial quotas?Originally posted by Caligastia
Proof of inherent racial differences in intelligence will destroy the justification for racial preferences. These types of programs are based on the assumption that environment completely explains performance differences across groups."The French caused the war [Persian Gulf war, 1991]" - Ned

No they aren't. The assumption is that environment plays some outcomes.Originally posted by Caligastia

What exactly would a difference in "power of reason" mean in practical terms? Are people somehow unable of doing certain things, like having a debate or ordering a pizza? Or is it that they don't get as many nobel prizes? What do we do with the broad majority of white people who don't get nobel prizes either? Questions, questions.
As for the "based on science" point, if the "findings" are resulting of a move from fact to interpretation of the fact at some point they are always debatable.Blah

If that were true, there would be no AA or equivalent now. Just because you don't agree with it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.Originally posted by Kuciwalker
There's no cause to promote racial quotas anyway, so yes."The French caused the war [Persian Gulf war, 1991]" - Ned

I believe that people should be qualified for their job. That's an achievable goal. Meritocracy is just rhetoric. It's not going to happen.Originally posted by Kuciwalker
Kid doesn't want a meritocracy for fairly obvious reasons.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?
